IC1805 & IC1795; aka Heart & Fish-head nebulae (redone)

Heart & Fish-head nebulae: The Heart Nebula, IC 1805, Sharpless 2-190, is some 7500 light years away from Earth and is located in the Perseus Arm of the Galaxy in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by William Herschel on 3 November 1787. It is an emission nebula showing glowing ionized hydrogen gas and darker dust lanes. IC 1795, also know as the Fish Head Nebula, is an area of new star formation with glowing gas and dust, in the constellation of Cassiopeia. It is actually a portion of the larger Heart Nebula complex (IC 1805) that is located about 6000 light-years from earth.

Cloudy Nights blues, remedy with your fave, best data from the last season to be reprocessed with improved techniques.. The data acquisition was done early to mid February, 2022, from our Bortle 5 backyard. Equipment used: WO Z73 doublet apo refractor on iOptron GEM28 mount with GPS, 0.8x FR FF, ZWO 294MC Pro main camera, L enhance filter, ZWO 120mm guidecam, ASI Air Pro and all powered by two Jackery units.

60 x 180sec light subs
20 darks and 30 flats

Totally new stack using the latest WBPP script in Pixinsight and Post processed in Pixinsight with new techniques and touched up in Paintshop pro towards the end, for clarity and vibrancy, enjoy 😉

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
